Anatomy of a Motive by John Douglas

If I could say one thing in regards to this book it is that the author is not speaking from the point of view of a years' worth of library research. He didn't read a bunch of case files and try to make a book. He actually talked to a lot of very bad people face to face. .
             The one paragraph that really scared me is where he talks about the three youthful behaviors that make up what has come to be known as the homicidal triad (pg56). the first one which grabbed my attention is bed wetting beyond an appropriate age, it caught my attention because my 9 year old son Isaac is still bed wetting and I immediately called my sons father because from my understanding it has to happen longer than anybody else in the family, I know from my side of the family no body bed wets past age 5, but I made it my duty to find out about my sons father side of the family and thanks God my investigation did not go far because my sons father told me that he bed wetted until age 13. I am also worried about Isaac's self-esteem because another red flag for homicidal triad is low self-esteem. Because of Isaac's left eye ptosis I am scared he might develop some level of low self-esteem. Lately he has been asking with a sad face why he cannot be like other kids (broke me into tears) and my response was because that is how God made him and what is important is that he has perfect vision and does not need glasses like other kids. I told him he is smart and funny and at that point I was just trying to build up his self-esteem but I pray to God that he believes that about himself. Once again this book has made me so much more knowledgeable than I was before I started reading it, now I find myself questioning everybody's behaviors, but specially the children in my family and friends. .
